I am a trauma-informed therapist who uses EMDR to support individuals looking to explore and manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, low mood, anger, and trauma. Having worked alongside people from all walks of life and of all ages in clinical, general, and athletic settings, I seek to offer a space to navigate present-day/past challenges free of judgment. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation and would love to connect with you.

Do you find yourself tired of facing feelings of anxiety, “being stuck,” sadness, low motivation, or a lack of self-love? Are you interested in creating a stronger sense of self, understanding your choices, and digging into the roots of why you feel the way you do? Are you interested in looking at your past, taking power back over your story, and learning about new ways to take a look at things? Do you want to learn more about how our physical health can influence our emotional well-being? Together, we can look at your past, present, and future goals, and provide you with an understanding of what this means to you. My therapy approach uses CBT, ACT, Narrative, and more, but our work would be unique to your goals and needs.

I believe each client has unique needs which is why I take my lead from each client. Whether you’re feeling lonely, isolated, unwanted, or stressed; I will take the time to get to know your concerns first. Once we have identified your main concerns, we can work collaboratively towards your goals. I have experience working with adult men and seniors through crisis prevention and individual counselling. I currently provide virtual therapy as well as in-person counselling at my office in downtown Hamilton to adults 18+. Some approaches that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Overall, I aim to provide a space where clients feel safe discussing their mental health.

I provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing symptoms due to traumatic, distressful events in childhood and/or adulthood. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck prevents you from living in the present moment. EMDR, as a comprehensive therapy, can help unlock traumatic memories trapped in the brain. Symptoms such as panic attacks, phobias, flashbacks, depression, and anxiety can affect our level of functionality, and the way we relate to ourselves and others in daily life, work, home, and school. Take the next step to your wellness! I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you feel like you’re never good enough, or that you have to please others? Do you wish you could put yourself first more often, and make your wants and needs a priority? Do you struggle with confidence or self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and low-mood? Have you experienced trauma that follows you around? Would you like a better understanding of your behaviours in general, or in friendships and relationships? Together we can look at exploring the strengths, relationships, and experiences that have got you to this point, and move forward in a way that reconnects you with yourself and your goals. My areas of interest are mood (anxiety, stress, depression), self-esteem, Trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Hi there! I work in private practice in Ontario. I work with individuals with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or can just help with coping with daily stressors.

I hear you. I believe in you. I care. I believe therapy is beneficial because it allows people to share their stories in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored). My approach draws from the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred techniques amongst others. I aim to help people better understand emotions, process difficult experiences, address unhelpful behaviours and work towards the life they want.

Dr. Cooper and his associates, Maryam Rahat and Carlin Palme, offer care for individuals and couples dealing with concerns that are getting in the way of fully functioning. Common concerns include anxiety, depression, substance use, procrastination, trauma, self-esteem, relationship conflict, and career indecision. Our approach to providing care is shaped by the interest and direction of each individual. Care provision is informed by proven therapies which include CBT and positive psychology. We are very interested in the connection between nature and health. There is opportunity for walk and talk sessions outdoors. This helps to create a very unique therapy experience.

Are you hoping to improve your mood and return to “feeling like yourself” again? Do you feel trapped by your triggers, traumas, or experiences, and want to better understand how your thoughts and feelings today are still connected to the past? Do you want a therapist who takes into consideration your values and background to help connect you to your experiences of past, present and future? If this sounds like you, together we can explore the ways you’re struggling or hoping to learn more about yourself in our work. I support both individuals and couples through their journeys. I hold a Masters of Counselling Psychology from Adler University and I am an EMDR Trauma practitioner which connects emotions, the body, and our traumas to heal.

My clients receive a genuine, dedicated, and committed therapist. I always make sure I am checking in and seeking feedback to ensure our time together is meaningful and beneficial. I have been told many times that I am approachable, funny, and easy to talk to. If I can make someone laugh when they are dealing with a difficult situation, then why not? I am straight-forward and supportive. I have a decade of experience as a social worker and have the clinical skills to know how to approach different personalities in order to build rapport in a short time frame.
